Q:

The table shows the steps for solving the given inequality for x.7x+16<-5(4-5x)Select the reason for each step from the drop down menus. 7x+16<-5(4-5) - Given 7x+16<-20+25x - Distributive Property 16<-20+18x - ? 36< 18x - ? 2< x - ?

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:Step-by-step explanation:We have to solve  the inequality for x.Solution is given below.7x +16 < -5(4 - 5x)....given 7x + 16 < -20 + 25x....distributive property 16 < -20 + 18x ... subtraction property 16 + 20 < 18x.....addition property 36 < 18x 36/18 < x.....division property 2 < x
